What do you think of Simagic so far?

If your fanatec was turning left, it makes sense that a wheel that's perfectly straight feels like it would be turning right because you're used to it. Don't need to worry about the wireless connection with simagic, I've never heard of any issues, nor have I ever had any connection issues in the years I've been driving with it.

The fact jardier is using 70% of the 23nm base and making it look easy is absolutely hilarious. Dude is just strong. He makes it look like others using an 8nm base. Also remember simagic picks up on the ungulations on track other bases don't.

Simagic have been killing it the last year or so. They had great bases and then they brought a nice selection of wheels, shifters, and a great set of pedals with haptics. It’s a great ecosystem and the only thing they are lacking to be next level is console compatibility. They get that and they’ll really take off.

Crazy how it looks like Jardier is getting more and more in shape day by day💪💪 keep up the good work mate!

love that pov from the back while you drive!

125k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done, Jards. On to 150!

I’ve been using the alpha u for over a year and a half now and I LOVE it. It’s an awesome base.

Congratulations on the new base. I just upgraded to the alpha mini and I am so happy. The wheels and pedals are all amazing quality for the price

Nice, I got the Alpha Mini. Hope you enjoy it mate.

I’ve been watching your videos for a number of years now. Another great video, I also want to say Jards you’re looking in great shape buddy. Keep up the great work

Alpha U and gt neo just arrived today! Happily surprised to see my personal favorite sim racer testing one.

I´m using the Simagic Alpha Mini and the GT4 Wheel since 2022 without any problems. Good choice Jadier!

Boosted media said something about putting the settings to -7 degrees and calibrate. will make it true 0 degrees. Love it.. just ordered a Neo and Alpha U. should be in next week I hope. Great video

Was also an early GT NEO customer and used it on my Moza R9. The simagic wheel made my moza gear feel like a toy so now im selling to replace it with a simagic alpha :)

I’ve got the same base with the FX wheel and I’m loving it! Massive upgrade from the Moza R5 and anything else I’ve ever used

I'm running the Gt Neo and the Alpha Mini, changed from Fanatec over 12 months ago, and have loved the simagic gear, never let me down yet. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Jardier i figured out the settings due to hepp from race beyond matters! Hes been sim racing for 15 years and has his ultimate dialed in to his simucube level. So where it says max torque and them ffb. Leave the max torque at 23nm but turn the ffb top left slider in the software down to 60 to 70%! Then adjust in game how you like. This alloes for the ffb signals to come through and not clip but get towards the edge of doing so where the most detail is at! Then turn smoothness down to 1 and interpelation to like 4 or 5. This allows for less noise yet also tons of details. As he stated would rather have details and speed then reduce noise all the way and hurt it. But yeah go do this you wiko not regret it! Enjoy its an insane wheel once you dial it in also make sure you are on the latest software@ I really hope you see this the 60%-70% ffb will help you so much the little details that pop this way are shocking. Again leave max torque at 23nm on the top right snd then top left slider turn the ffb down to 60-70% do not use 100% as many of the signals come through and are clipping through the base itself. This is game changing.

I got myself a set of Simagic's P-1000 pedals about two months ago. I knew then I'd need to swap my entire Fanatec gear for Simagic. The quality is just on another dimension. I got an Alpha Mini with the GTS wheel and have an FX-C wheel on the way. I am genuinely in love, coming from a Fanatec CSL GT DD Pro 8Nm with F1 2023, McLaren GT3 and a round wheel with CSL Hub v2.

lets goo simagic alpha mini and neo gt come in the mail tomorrow

I'm sure you are gonna be happy with the Alpha U. I've had the alpha for years and are perfectly happy. Keep racing J...

I purchased a Fanatec DD1 in November of 2021! Its 2024 and im still learning how making micro adjustments to all the tuning options changes the driving experience! For a $1,200 wheel base and $369 wheel im happy. My only issue was the USB port failing. Unfortunately Fanatec's customers service is horrible. What was awesome was finding the rear Cap w/PCB board for sale on Ebay for $100. Swapped it out with the broken 1, updated the firmware and its been better then ever! I was very tempted to buy a Simucube or Sim magic cause i loved the look of the neo wheel. But i couldn't justify buying everything again and the mounting needed for my cockpit. Ive taken apart a DD1 and I must admit, its extremely well designed and very easy to swap parts if something breaks.

I’ve been loving my Simagic gear. I have the Alpha Mini base, FX wheel, ds8x shifter, and handbrake. Wish I had the pedals to complete the set.

I think that you deserve a Simucube mate! With that base you do the really upgrade and you can find any kind of steering wheel

i use Simagic Alpha Mini with the GT4-C Wheel since 12-2021 and never got any issues without cables :)

I finally ordered the GT NEO after I you talked about it and it shows up today! I’ve been running the Simagic alpha U for about a year now and I have really enjoyed it and I really hope you enjoy it as well!!!

I have the P1000 pedals, took me a while (1 week) to get them how i wanted them, I have the haptic motor on the brake which is great, really pleased with them.

Using my GT Neo on a Fanatec DD Pro at the minute. Will probably switch to the Simagic Alpha later in the year.

I have GT Neo, Simagic Alpha Mini on order hopefully due in April. They will replace my DD1 & Formula V2 with APM.

this lad is trimming down 💪💪💪

Amazing simagic

Jardier! Man we have been friends for years. I remember our crash in PC2 LOL! Enjoy Simagic! It is the best!

I had almost exact upgrade from Fanatec (GT Pro, so not really), to Simagic (Alpha U / FX PRO / P1000) never been happier, ofcourse going from entry-level to flagship makes a hige difference

4:48 you're holding it like you just hunted a fish ahahahha

I have the same base. Mine was about 3degree to the right when the Simpro said it was 0. I just reset the neutral to where I felt right and no problem at all since.

I ended up going for a Simucube 2 Pro last year, which I absolutely love. That said, I’ve heard lots of good things about the Simagic bases.

I bought the simagic handbrake, the one below yours, about two weeks before you got yours. I think it is very good, no issues at all, thinking of getting the same shifter as you now as my fanatec shifter has broke internally and it never worked in manual mode that great, any issues with your simagic shifter since you had it?. Looking at what they have on offer I quite like the look at what they have. Keep up the great work!

I really love simagic. I own their shifter DS-8X for a long time now as well as the p2000 pedals and I really would love to buy a Alpha U. But having a VRS DirectForcePro it really is a kind of very small upgrade. Maybe in the end of the year.

THe base looks great. With as hot as it gets in your room having everything packed so tightly I am interested to see how it does with heat dissapation over time (when dust gets into the unit, etc....) I'll be along for the adventure as you enjoy your new Simagic. Very interested

Welcome to the simagic club, your sim racing experience will begin from here…

I feel ACC is one of the games that really really benefits from higher end wheelbases. I was enjoying the game with my CSL DD 8Nm, but when I swapped to the Asetek Invicta wheelbase it was a proper gamechanger. There is so much detail there that was just not noticable previously, really subtle cues that allow me to drive harder and more consistently as I can feel when the car is getting out of shape in a way that I couldn't with the CSL DD. Regular Assetto Corsa on the other hand has much more "obvious" force feedback, and the difference is not that noticable. The Invicta is still better, but not as dramatic as I felt it was with ACC.

I Got the the Simaagic P1000 pedals - And Yes they are soo good .. Compaired to Moza's and Fanatec very lack luster pedals, they like the difference between a logitech g 920 and a simagic Alpha DD ... As for the right turning feel - you might have centring slightly off or might be a wrong setting in ACC and Simagic software doing it..

I use 100% ff in simpro manager and adjust the ff in game to suit your driving. It is More precise and real feel in all categories

Still, have never tried a DD wheel at all 😂, One day it will happen. If i was to choose, it would be Sim Magic, ive heard only good things. Thanks for the video, Jardier. 👍💜

VNM 17nm wheelbase is coming out soon apparently

Try set your Steer Settings to -7 degrees. Boosted Media picked up the same thing with all Simagic wheels so its seems like its a calibration bug where its set to center but in game it feels like its to the right.. He mentions it at about 14mins in his SIMAGIC vs EVERYTHING video 3 weeks ago.

Really wondering what settings you're running, have the same base it's so amazing!

I’ve got an Alpha U with P1000 pedals. Quality is absolutely top notch. I have 0 complaints after years of usage. Don’t worry about relying on the wireless connectivity. It’s been 100% reliable in my experience. It’s a 2.4ghz wireless system. Same as Bluetooth, wifi routers, cell towers, wireless mice and/or headphones. It’s well proven technology.

I moved to VRS from DD2 and DD2 was good to me and still is great but it just gets better with the options outside of that world.

Ffb: 100 smoothness:4 wheel rotation speed:35 ffb detail:9 max torque 23nm damper:12 friction:6 inertia and frequency on 0. U can adjust the strength to suit in game.

Yes very good upgrade.Good by fanatec

Looking to get rid of the fanatec gear?? 😉😉 Haha new base looks amazing, well wear

I'm lucky enough to have Both But I say simagic just edges it for me. You need to try the pedals. P1000 👌💯

Pretty good base I see. I don't suggest that we use such a heavy base on a wheel stand, but on a proper rig, like a Omega Prime.

Thank you for the video Jardier, Maybe one day I will be able to get a DD Base and a Wheel. But Not today lol

I take everything i daid back jardier the simagic may be the best base ive ever used and thats including simucube. There is a feel now that simagic has updated there bases that is unmatched. There is a perfect feeling to get whatever you want out of it. Wow its good im shocked. Even better then my dd+ yes I just didnt have the settings right and ready i didnt have the latest update haha. Guys if you ever get a chance forget everything else ive owned simucube on loan, i own the dd+ i own a 15nl alpha and just got the ultimate holy crap the simagic bases now idk what they have done but they are now buttery smooth, snappy with insane details so much details i had to turn them down which meansbit gets more then my dd+ starting to realixe boosted media sucks with settings on bases. Starting to think peoppe shoupd stop listening to people like that who clearly dont understand how detail works with simagic. Then you go talk to race matters hes been sim racing for 15 years and he chose simagic over his simucube he was shocked. It seems like the same thing with everyone who tried it. Its always omg it blew my expectations away and i def get it. These things sre next level good now with the recent software and newest revision. If people dont know they are oj there 3rd revision. The 3rd one happened in 2023 so reviews before that or units before that dont really tell you about how good they are now.

Sounds like it's a little more detailed Jardier, pole position next time!

I've been an IT professional for 30 years, deaf and use a cochlear implant. There's no magic, wireless connections have lag, that's why my devices are wired to the network and not to Wi-Fi, the steering wheel is wired and the cochlear implant is connected to the PC via cable and not via Bluetooth because you can hear that there's a delay .

my Moza R9 V2 also pulls a little to the right, although I have set the center exactly

My Alpha is awesome. After a month of use with my NEO wheel, I have had zero issue with them. This is my first DD, and so far, I'm loving it

I did the same upgrade and loving it only tried IRacing for now and loving it, just have hard time figuring out the perfect FFB too much and it breaks your wrists, too little and you lose detail

Just bought my first wheel, went with the alpha 15nm, and all the bits and bobs, 1 week to wait 😢

I hope one day I can get one too, or maybe a Asetek Forte. At the moment I have a Thrustmaster TS-XW :/

Amazing brand …. I have the Alpha and moved from fanatec and am way happier. Quality of FFB is unreal and I run low filter on all canned effects aand high fidelity settings and ffb frequency and love it. Shocked at how good it is

i am thinking of upgrading my fanatec gt dd pro to at least a simagic alpha, maybe even the alpha u.

Hey Jardier, can you post your ingame camera settings ? We have same monitor and I would like to try

Since you had fanatec have you thought about trying the newer DD+ 15nm ?

@Jardier Hi man how much did you lost weight? Can you make like update on your healt?

Well i heard that that fanatec afiliet program have some hick ups and Jardier immediately jump of the brand that give him so much trough the years. That can tell you what kind person it is :))

Wtf I somehow forgot about you for a long time… simracing has been a bit on the backburner… cant wait to get viewing again

It was -3 degree in the softwear center it and I think ot will all ok

In South Africa, moza and simagic is literally half the price of fanatec gear. Its kind of a no brainer (unless you are on console... then you have to still wait for the moza r3)

Sorry if it's already been mentioned - If the Alpha U is the same as the other bases you should be able to disconnect the maglink and use the wireless receiver. I'd be interested to see if you get any disconnect issues.

@Jardier is it possible to have your simpro setting for ACC please?

Moving from Fanatec to Simagic is the best thing I've done. I've got a Alpha Mini and FX Pro the quality of the wheel and the feeling from the base is so much better than Fanatec

Fanatec have this annoying issue that because of the magnets placement in the base wheel by itself to not wanna stay at the center, but turn itself like 2-5 degress (fanatec control panel) and in my case it is 3-4 degress left. CSL DD and clubsport DD have this issue, so im quite sure DD1/DD2 have the same. I do not use strong FFB, so if lets say I do not hold my wheel at the straight because I wanna do or grab something my car just turns to the left So my question is.... How does it look for the simagic? 20:20 maybe this is the same issue? Open the software and check if the wheel stays at the middle 0 degress or turns to the right or left by itself.

what setting are you using in SimPro for acc?

I have had some issues with disconnection on my wheel (using the wireless on simagic alpha mini and gt1 wheel) but there should be a way you can reset the firmware using the buttons on the wheel (there is for my wheel) and that has always worked for me to fix it

I currently own an Alpha mini and I have been kinda eyeing the Asetek. Why? Who knows lol. Not in a hurry to switch tho.

I would buy the simagic instead of the fanatec if they could keep everything cool temperature like fanatec does.

Maybe it feels like it's going right, because you got used to the Fanatec pulling slightly left?

Hello Jardier, Is it possible to share your FFB settings (simagic software) once you find the best for you?

I’ve been looking at this base for the past two days. Might pull the trigger on it this week. This video might be the deciding factor. Edit: I order it bundled with the GT GT Neo. My wife gave birth to our daughter yesterday so why not celebrate the occasion with some new sim gear 😂 btw I’m currently using the Moza r12. My pedals, shifter and handbrake are all Simagic so this will also simplify my setup a bit.

could it be the weight of the cable pulling the wheel to the right?

U can run SIMHUB only with wheel connected with the base without the maglink? or another doubt could be, is possible to run SIMHUB only with the cable type C > USB connector with the Base? Or the only way to connectedthe wheel with SIMHUB is with using Maglink?

Not that you need to but have you ever thought about going with triple monitors for immersion?

Change deadzone to 1% to remove the "turning right" feeling?

You ARE crazy.. that has been confirmed live on streams so many times! But, on a serious note, I don't understand why not give on-device connections between wheel and base like Fanatec or Moza do, instead of making them wired/wireless?

Is there an adapter to use a fanatec wheel (formula v2) with the Simagic ecosystem?

Damn, even removed the Fanatec logo. I didnt think it was this bad

Time for you to upgrade that monitor too

Why not the CS DD+ ?

My self and many of us are just viewers. I have no racing gear. I wondered what 23Nm of force would feel like. I have experience with torque wrenches in old English units, foot pounds. I found the conversion. +16 foot pounds is close to 23Nm with that weight 12 inches from the center pivot point, (bowling ball). Now I understand. That's a lot of force applied to that racing wheel, which is smaller than 12 inches. Maybe I can help others understand that force. Numbers often puzzles many. I wanted to find a very simple way for people to experiencing that force and I think I've got a VERY rough comparison that should be close enough. This will be in US units. Take two gallons of water. Attach it to your wrist close to your hand. Pick it up keeping the arm level to the floor. I think doing that would get you reasonably close to experiencing that force. Like I said. It's a rough comparison. Did I even come close?

"It's actually not that big, I was expecting much bigger" - That's what she said XD

Hey Jardier just wanted to say you’ve inspired me to make videos and get more into acc, I hope to race you one day! (Also if anyone could give me any tips on what to do with my vids lmk because they’re REALLY bad rn and I just thought it’ll be some fun) :)

Race beyond matter just released a video of his settings. Check it out and see what you think of those settings.

What did bundle buy for ps5? I have playstation and 65' Samsung OLED tv. Right know thrust master t300 with TLCM pedals. Fanatec DD+ is it good option with pedals or Logitech or just buy Simagic bundle, new rig and cheap PC, and connect to my tv? I would buy Fanatec but I heard last time about their big company's issues.

What's up with this centering issue? I noticed Boosted Media pointed it out too

I'll buy your DD2 if you're interested!

what name on steering wheel YOU have?
